SANDUSKY, Ohio — Cedar Point is offering a full season of entertainment to celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2021.
The coronavirus pandemic postponed the celebration to this year. Special events are returning, including a nighttime parade and party, new family river adventure ride, and chances to win the Ticket of a Lifetime.
Opening day is set for May 14 and will feature a Wild West frontier festival celebrating hope, health, and harvest. The event will include live music, festive décor, street entertainers, and a special food and drink menu.

Snake River Expedition opens May 29 and will be operational through Labor Day. Parents, kids, and grandparents can join the mission to smuggle valuable goods around Adventure Island on the new river boat ride. Riders will perform secret tasks, encounter surprises, and avoid "danger" at every turn.
The 150th anniversary celebration parade will feature floats, dancers, and a "grand finale like no other." Special commemorative merchandise will be for sale.
New food options like C.P. Juice Co. are set to debut. The 150th anniversary celebration will take place daily June 26 through Aug. 15.
